It was a neat little Git client, compact and reasonably swift to start. But, once hands-on with it, found myself pleasantly surprised. There has been the usual hackerchat hatin’ that accompanies anything new, and the word on Desktop 1.0 was that it is slow, bloated, and gobbles RAM like my kid gobbles Pop Tarts. Producing a tool for programmers without Linux support, srsly? It lingered for a day or two on my hard drive, but even über beginner me liked bash better and I’ve never looked back. (Which I dutifully did, only in those days it was the original Mac-flavored native desktop app). I am not a total n00b to this, since the first time I ever played around with GitHub I basically got played by GitHub in return - the website pretty much steamrolls first-time users into downloading the client.

So I decided to take a look for myself: download GitHub Desktop 1.0 and see what it does. But this is GitHub! Surely its in-house development team must know a thing or two about making an app that could make our work lives better, or easier, or … something.
Sure, it was some developers somewhere who labored to bring us utterly useless apps like Man Poke and Human To Cat Translator. But after my initial knee-jerk dismissal of last Tuesday’s announcement, it occurred to me to think for a moment of the developers who worked to build this app. I do not know a single developer who uses the GitHub desktop, old or new. The dev world responded with a collective “yeah, whatevs” shrug and went back to pushing command line code. The new desktop client is a complete overhaul of the original GitHub desktop client, rebuilt from the ground up on Electron, GitHub’s open source framework with the JavaScript backend and the Chromium front end. This extension colors the background in various ways.Last week GitHub launched Desktop 1.0, an app designed as a GUI portage around the CLI workflow favored by the vast majority of GitHub users. wraith13/open-in-github-desktop-vscode Other extensions of wraith13's work Icon.
